Chapter 88 Ripples Before the Storm [Part 2]

【As usual two in one】

It turned around and reached August thirteenth.

As usual, after finishing the drinks, I drove to shops everywhere.

After the inventory was exhausted two days ago, he urged several shopkeepers to take charge of the accounts. All they had to do today was to collect the account books from various places and send them to the mansion for Wang Xifeng to review.

This is a roundabout reminder Wang Xifeng not to forget to fulfill his promise.

Secondly, we can also take the opportunity to release the news and lure the East Mansion to take the initiative to take the bait.

Based on the principle of being far away first and then near, and then going home along the way, I went to the outer city first, then to Dongsi Pailou, and finally transferred to the shop in Shichahai.

The shopkeeper Li had already prepared the account book and placed it in one place with two four-color gifts.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the shopkeepers of the two shops in front also had small gifts to offer, but what shopkeepers Li prepared far exceeded the "convention".

Laishun knew that he was thanking him and helped block Xue Pan's unreasonable difficulties, so he smiled and said, "I am also afraid of breaking the rules, so I forced myself to say a few words to Master Chou. It's worth thanking you so much.

of."

Manager Li insisted on sending him off, but Laishun finally had to refuse.

but……

"Why are there two servings of this thing?"

Lai Shunqi said: "The other one is..."

"To be honest."

Manager Li smiled bitterly and said, "I am the same clan as the eldest grandmother of your mansion. Because I am a distant relative from the fifth sermon, I didn't dare to rashly talk to you, but..."

"Oh~"

He sighed helplessly: "But now I understand. If there is no one behind, the shopkeeper will be uneasy, so he has to bite the bullet and walk the big grandma's way.

.”

As he said that, he presented a gift list with both hands: "All what should be written is written, please send it to the mansion for me."

"So you are a stalker, too."

Lai Shun joked, and took the gift list from him. Seeing that the mud seal was deliberately covered with it, he directly put it into his sleeve and asked again: "What is the difference between these two gifts? Don't let me do it anymore.

Wrong."

“The gifts are the same.”

Manager Li bowed again: "It's causing trouble for the manager."

"By the way, is there any trouble?"

It was already noon at that time.

Lai Shun had a meal with Manager Li in the store, and then ordered the shop assistant to put the gifts on the car, and Shi Shiran returned to Changshengfang.

It is inconvenient to bring gifts.

Laishun went home first to remove his own share.

Then he went to the top of the second gate and entrusted Li Wan's share to Xu, and then he held the account book and asked to see Wang Xifeng.

Because the appointment had been made long ago and Wang Xifeng was eagerly waiting for it, so the news was delivered to it not long after Ping'er greeted it alone.

When crossing the two doors and seeing that there was no one around, Ping'er whispered: "I don't care what ambush you have done outside, but the more critical this is, the more you should be careful, what are you doing

Do you have to force yourself for others?”

Laishun guessed that she was talking about her own ruling Xue Pan, so she said helplessly: "If it weren't for this transaction, the genius would be willing to interfere in these other people's affairs - sister, don't worry, the overall situation is now

I will never have any more troubles.”

"It's good that you have the right attitude."

Ping'er nodded, walked forward silently for a moment, and suddenly reminded him: "You see her again this time, and you dare not be so rash again!"

"How could it be!"

Lai Shunxin immediately cried out in the sky.

It was the first time he saw Wang Xifeng, and he was new to this world, and he accidentally revealed his hiding - after all, in modern society, it was normal to pay attention to beauties, and this old habit was a temporary

Where can I change it?

But now he and Guang Chen are used to it, so how could he recklessly lose sight of Wang Xifeng?

Even if you want to spy on it, you have to wait until you become prosperous in the future and the Rongguo Mansion begins to decline again.

Say...

How did Rongguo Mansion decline?

Laishun only remembers the sentence "The white earth is so clean." He has no impression of how the Jia family fell.

When I arrived in front of the small downfall hall, I saw that there were a lot more servants waiting for the report than the previous few times.

After thinking about it for a moment, I knew that this was probably Wang Xifeng intentionally, in order to show his achievements in "managing the family" in front of the whole mansion.

After seeing through this section, Laishun followed Ping'er in, he deliberately stopped at the door, picked up the data that was so excited that he reported it at the top of his voice.

There was an uproar outside, and Wang Xifeng's face also shone on her face. She called out a few words of "Okay" and asked again: "So, if 50,000 tires are produced every month in the south, we will go to the house.

Can you share 60,000 taels of silver per year?"

“That’s right.”

Seeing that she was still bragging, Laishun naturally had to do the role of supporting the actor well: "Based on the current situation, there will only be more, not less."

After a pause, he added: "When the deal is fully launched, the factory in the south must be expanded to more than 100,000 per month before it can be sold inside and out."

In fact, when the sale is really spread out, counterfeit products should appear. By then, the net profit of 100,000 tires is probably not as good as the current 50,000 tires.

I'm afraid that only by achieving monthly sales of more than 200,000 can we achieve the goal of double profits - but today's Xia Kingdom may not be able to accommodate such a large shipment volume.

Of course, such a great detail that is not popular will naturally not be publicized.

"Okay, OK, OK!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but say three more words of hello, and at the same time, her heart felt like she was going to a mountain.

Nowadays, the various incomes of Rongguo Mansion are converted into silver are about 140,000 taels, but the annual expenses are more than 150,000 taels.

This hole, which ranges from thousands to twenty or thirty thousand, is actually the knot in Wang Xifeng's heart every year. For this reason, she had to use monthly money to lend money, and even wanted to take charge of prison lawsuits.

Now that this annual input of at least 60,000 taels can be used, it can not only smooth out the holes in the mansion, but also has a surplus of 30,000 to 50,000 taels!

The blocks of years of life are naturally wiped out.

Thinking of the good days ahead, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but mutter: "The old lady didn't dare to do her birthday before. Even the fifteenth day of August was tight, and she broke down the east wall and repaired the west wall all day long.

The hard days are over!"

Hearing the words "hard days" appearing in her mouth, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. This extravagant life piled up with gold and silver can be said to be "hard days". Isn't the ordinary people in dire straits?

In hell?

Laishun was complaining in his heart.

But Wang Xifeng looked at him more and more like him. Although Lai Wang was able to use it easily, how could he be as good as this son who turned stones into gold?

In the past, Shunsheng's viciousness and vulgarity are now incredible. No wonder Jiao Da elected him to succeed. This is what a general should look like!

Alas ~

It would be even better if it weren't for the matter of exile.

Thinking of Xijue, Wang Xifeng's mood was discounted, and she was not interested in continuing to boast. She encouraged her a few words and ordered him to hand over the account book to Ping'er, so she asked the woman to send him out of the back house.

Not to mention how Wang Xifeng was complacent while looking through the accounts.

But Lai Shun left the back house and found the small flower hall next to the Neiyi Gate.

Although the shop was directly under Wang Xifeng and Lai Shun, he still had to explain the general situation to Lai Da, the general manager.

As for whether to let Lai Da review the specific accounts, that is what Wang Xifeng needs to consider.

Last September, when Laishun just came over, he didn't even have the qualifications to report things to this small hall. Later, when he was a small manager, he could only come in and stand and talk.

Now, he came to this small hall again to look for Lai Da to discuss matters, but he already had a serious seat.

After the servant brought the tea, Lai Shun briefly talked about the shop's entry, and said, "Now the big carriages in the city are also interested in placing orders to buy them. I'm afraid it's even more busy in September than before.

So I thought about transferring a few more mates from the mansion."

“This is easy to say.”

Lai Da smiled and nodded warmly, "Let Lin Zhixiao draw a list, you can choose a few honest and diligent people."

Lai Shun called out: "It's okay to be there. I heard that Wu Gui from the kitchen was bought by the chief executive himself, so your vision is naturally not bad - it's better to order him first. If you really can do it,

You can entrust him as a small manager to help the store restrain those little boys."

When Lai Da heard him mention Wu Gui, his heart was immediately shocked.

If you want to talk about what Wu Gui is special, one is his woman with aquatic beauty, and the other is Qingwen, who is deeply favored by Baoyu.

The former will be omitted.

This time, I had sharpened my head and leaned against Baoyu. Now that I have the power, I suddenly pulled Qingwen's brother out again. Could it be that I want to bring up the old things again?

This child is indeed unstoppable!

While Lai Dayi put up a villain Flag in his heart, he smiled calmly and said, "Why did you choose him? I asked someone to buy him back, but I was really asked by his sister. If it is not useful, don't

It was blamed on me."

"How could it be?"

Lai Shun called out, chatted with Lai Daxian for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

After he left, Lai Da was silent for a long time, then he called his trusted servant in and ordered him to go to Ningguo Mansion to tell Lai Sheng: The lame donkey in the backyard dared not be as procrastinated as you!

…………

It is approaching evening.

Li Wan returned to her widowed courtyard from outside and saw four-colored gifts on the table, and couldn't help but wonder: "Who sent this?"

The little maid who stayed behind quickly replied, "It was Aunt Lai Wang who asked someone to send it in, saying yes, saying yes..."

She stammered for a while, but couldn't remember what the person who came here had told me, so she hurriedly pointed to the invitation and said, "It's said that it's all written clearly!"

"I came to my house to give it?"

Li Wan picked up the gift list, stared at the seal on it and murmured: "It's rare that they still remember that there is someone like me."

The maid next to me heard that she was coming to my house to deliver it, and she immediately lit up her eyes. She hurriedly gave out the fried beans and encouraged her with anticipation: "This family is now in power in the house, and now she is preparing it specially again.

The gift was sent over, which shows that he was a person who knew the magnanimity and was polite. Why not..."

"Let her return this gift tomorrow."

But before she could finish her words, Li Wan put the gift list back on the table and said calmly: "He came to burn my cold stove, and I'm afraid there will be something to do - as the saying goes, "I will bear the cause and bear the result."

', I only want Lan'er to be motivated now, so I don't care about so many other things."

That being said, the face of the melon-shaped face, which has always been light and light, still reveals some unwillingness and loneliness.

…………

at the same time.

Lai Sheng, who was known by Lai Da, finally found Rongguo Mansion in a burgeoning manner.

Seeing that my brother was still handling business in the flower hall, he patted a copy of the note in front of Lai Da, and complained half-truely: "My affairs are good, but you're just urging your life.

.”

Lai Da ignored him, found a browned booklet under the paperweight, opened it and compared it with the note.

"Sure enough!"

After a while, he sighed quietly.

"What is really like this?"

Lai Sheng is still in a fog now. Seeing that his brother is still in hiding, he couldn't help but urge him to ask: "What's the point of making this cloudy mountain in front of me? What's going on? Brother, please make it clear!"

"You see it yourself."

General Lai pushed the old booklet and note in front of him: "They two of them took off their homework on the same day."

Lai Sheng had already known about Jiao Da's resignation, so he only looked down at the Jiaohuang booklet, but he saw that it was recorded that a slave named Yun from Rongguo Mansion had resigned from his family fifty-seven years ago.

.

This day is indeed the same as Jiao Da.

But Lai Sheng still didn't understand why, so he said strangely: "What can this mean?"

"You are young, probably don't remember it."

Lai Da pointed to the old booklet and said, "Before his grandfather passed away, he said that the Yun family was the most trusted by the Duke of the Mansion. Because he was later recommended by the Duke of the Mansion to be an official, he showed that

Leave our family.”

"Be an official?"

When Lai Sheng heard this, he subconsciously looked at the old booklet.

"That's right!"

Lai Dadao: "When Emperor Shizong ascended the throne, this butler Yun won the fifth-rank Jinying Qianhu and the hereditary title of the cavalry commander because of the recommendation of the old king. The Yun family also jumped into the dragon gate with this fish, and since then it started.

His grandson Yun Guang has already become the governor of Chang'an Prefecture!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Lai Sheng: "Have you ever heard similar rumors in Ningguo Mansion?"

Lai Sheng vaguely realized something, swallowed hard, shook his head and said, "This, but this has never been done."

Lai Da asked again: "However, Duke Ning Guo was the eldest brother, and he was above Duke Rong at that time. Since Duke Rong could recommend a slave as an official, would Duke Ning Guo not have the qualifications?"

"this……"

Lai Sheng had already vaguely guessed 60% or 70%, but he was a little unbelievable for a moment.

Lai Daze continued to ask: "Duke Ning Guo wanted to recommend a slave as an official at that time, do you think he would recommend that?"

"Kyo, burnt big?!"

Lai Sheng finally blurted out the name of "Jiao Da" and said in a lost voice: "Jiao Da actually has an official position?!"

"There are most likely no official positions."

Lai Da shook his head and said, "If he had an official position, he would not have hid in Ningguo Mansion for his whole life and never found out that he should have shirked his official position and left only his hereditary title."

He paused and added: "At that time, Jiao Da suddenly vowed that he would stay in Ningguo Mansion for the rest of his life, probably because of this."

"Sheirical title?!"

Lai Sheng finally understood the key point and shouted in a sharp voice: "Laishun, Laishun! Then Laishun recognizes Jiao Da as his godfather, and actually wants to inherit the title?!"

As he said that, he jumped three feet high and complained repeatedly: "Brother, since you know the old things in the Yun family, why didn't you expect this to be here in the morning?! Now that half a year has passed, the title is probably not a puppy.

On the head?!"

"impossible!"

Lai Da flatly denied: "When the great master inherited the title, I ran with my father. In order to prevent someone from secretly seizing the title, the court specially set up a review method. If he wants to inherit the title, it is impossible not to disturb our mansion.

inside."

He paused and added: "Unless, he first took off his slavery and then transferred his household registration to another place."

"I can't guarantee that he has done this!"

Lai Sheng was wandering around the hall like an ant, and said anxiously: "It's been more than half a year, what can't be done? I..."

"What are you panic!"

Lai Da scolded him and said, "I have asked someone to go to Daxing County to ask about it today. His slave family is still there and his household registration has not been moved out of Changshengfang."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "You said I should have thought of this, but who would have thought that someone would really let the road of peace and prosperity go, and would rather be a slave for others for the rest of his life?"

Lai Sheng was speechless immediately.

If it weren't for the evidence in front of him, he wouldn't have believed that someone was willing to give up his fifth-rank official position and stayed in Ningguo Mansion as a servant for decades.

After a while, he suddenly grabbed the old booklet and note on the table and said in a hurry: "I'm going back to report this to the master - I can't even get this good thing. He came to his house to get a bargain.

Neither!”

"Remember not to force yourself!"

Lai Da hurriedly reminded: "The father and son are the confidants of the second grandmother, and they are also sent by the second wife. It depends on the owner to beat the dog - you can just let Mr. Zhen make trouble."

"I can save it!"
